JT,Sounds good I will give it a shot. In case anyone is in need of containers, I picked up a few opaque 22 Quart cambro rounds with lids for flour storage. They were $10.40 per container and $2.50 for the lid. I also got a couple of clear 1 litres for my starters. They were about $6 with the lid.

Hey guys,I just got back from Bova picking up incidentals. I splurged today and also got the cannoli goo in the plastic throw away pastry bag, and the 24 cannoli shells. I thought I would get it for the kids but the wife and I all ready had a few, and they are great. I also picked up a jar of La Bella Di Cerignola Italian Olives for $8.99. I never had fresh olives in brine before and I find I like them. You just have to watch out for the pits. I got a picture of them off the net and they seem to run for twice that price. I was told they pick them in a one month period in November just before they ripen and then cure them in ash. I also asked Frank if he would break a case of Grande mix for the store if the warehouse carries it. He said no problem. So keep an eye out for it in a few weeks.

I do not really cook at high temps so I can't comment on the quality. The bags were 1000g for $2.75 so it would not cost much to test it out. I bought some last summer, I assume he still carries it. He said it was a test run to see if it sold.

Kemosa,I do not know how their 00 compares to Caputo. I have seen 00 flours very a lot because 00 only refers to the grind. This brand does state for pizza but I do not know if that means high temp or not. I would assume it is not malted and would probably hold up. I have some Caputo and wouldn't mind giving you a few pounds to try. Maybe someday before summer arrives I could meet you at Bova. If you like it you can get a 55 lb bag at Stavola for about $28. They are in NJ about 10 minutes over the Walt Whitman. They are kinda of like Bova on a super small scale with out the store. They also carry bromated All Trump if you are into that.

Bob1I see you enjoy your trips to BovaI spoke to Franks awhile back and he says that his dough comes fromLong Island.I have tried it a few years ago and did not taste any differance betweenthe Bova and walmarts dough balls.I tried the Bova a tad ago again ,Bova dough balls they taste alot better then walmarts...I just bought a case of Grande about 2 months ago and gave a few bags out last week.I think I will need another trip to Bova and also get 2 or 3 case of real breaded veal and not the cheap veal patties many places sell.............JT

JT,I checked the freezer before I left and it was full. I really wanted to try the veal, but I will have to wait until I can clear a few things out. I tried their dough a couple of years ago and thought it was pretty good for frozen. It's very seldom I ever buy balls.

I stopped at Bova today with the wife and she picked up some of the frozen Sfogliatelli - (The sfogliatelli is a classic Italian pastry with ricotta filling and a cake-like consistency). They were fantastic, you bake them for 45 minutes spritz them with water and bake for another 5. The top was very crisp and delicate with a nice crisp bottom. They left a pleasent slight orange aftertaste. I also picked up a case of 6 in 1 for a friend and found that they went up to $45 for 24 28oz cans. I had heard there was a tomato shortage I assume that is why.

My Updated trip to Bova foods todayMy friend is coming up early next week and he wants my Last 2 Grande East Coast Blends I have left.I think I only have enough Grande to make One or Two more pizzas left,so I felt since I might be in the area why not stop at Bova.Case of Grande East Coast Blend $73.20 (Date on the case 2-22-2010}3 Cases of Bova Breaded Veal cutlets $32.50 per case2 cases of Lamonicas 26 22oz Pizza dough $22.45 per case (geez and I was paying $1.50 in the past for a few,,,best to buy a case,under a dollar per dough ball.(Better then the brand I have always bought from walmarts}And 1 case of Pizza sauce $19.99

I am stock up for now and glad to have Bova within 1 hour from home......

JT,I stopped at Altieri and sons in Norristown. They are another wholesale food dist. I picked up a product list and it has Grande whole milk Mozz in it. I did not get a price but here is their number is 610-275-1212.If I recall you were you looking for it. They also have the best cheese steak meat in 10lb boxes.

Thanks BobNorristown is kinda far from the Poconos areaBova is alot closerI bought a case of Grande Whole Milk awhile back and felt its best to stick with the East coast blend since it melts better as many have said(I don't see a differance}But If I am ever in the area of Norristown,I will give them a try,,,thanks

No No No. I got 5 Oz sliced veal cutlets. They are not patties. I will take a pic next time, but here is one from the net. I prefer non breaded because I can always bread them myself. These are the same ones that restaurants sell for Veal cutlet dishes. I have great reservations buying premade patties of any type.

GreatttttttWe bought the same but mine are breaded.(its what you enjoy best}Not a bad price(kinda cheap since we make these ourselfs}The ones that I bought are not each sealed.The ones I got are6Lbs Hand Sliced Breaded Leg Veal Cutlets(think they are 4oz each but can be wrong}For $32 each I bought 3 cases,,,,nice to know I will not run outbefore my next trip to Bova lol..Now you have a place for yeaaa veal,,,I didnot know they sold Veal until I asked lol.........JT
